An Old Woman by Arun Kolatkar Summary in English

Here we have uploaded the An Old Woman by Arun Kolatkar Summary in English for students. This will help students to learn quickly in English and English language.

An old woman grabs a tourist's sleeve and tags along. She wants a 'paisa paise coin'. For this she offers to show him the 'Horseshoe Temple'. This refers to a legend centered around a horseshoe-shaped depression in a rock about Khandoba, the presiding deity of Jejuri, who climbed on his horse from that rock as he took his wife with him. It is a legend that the true believer believes and the skeptic doubts.

 

The tourist walks away because he has already seen the temple. The old woman 'tightens her grip' and the 'drunken' go hand in hand - don't give up so easily. He is unshakable. She clings to him like a 'thunder' - a prickly seed pod that clings to clothing.

 

Irritated by this persistence, the tourist decides to 'face him' with an 'air of finality' - he decides not to bow down to him and thus wants to end the 'skit'. He assumes that his nonsensical reaction will put him off. But the old woman's fact question - what else can the 'old woman' do to survive on these 'wretched hills' - strikes the narrator like a thunderbolt.

The harsh reality that the narrator encounters allows him to see her up close. When he turns and sees her face, he is shocked. There are two deeply sunken eyes that look like bullet holes. His skin is wrinkled and cracks appear around his eyes and extend beyond his skin. He feels that everything is falling apart. Everything is torn apart.

The cracks spread beyond his skin to the hills and sky. Catastrophe happens. Mountains break, temples break and the sky shatters like a sheet of glass. But the old woman stands there as a symbol of all-round decline. The narrator feels embarrassed. He is reduced to small changes in the heartland.

In the moment of realization, the narrator/tourist finds himself low in his self-esteem. Her awakening to the 'real' world makes her feel 'small' - as insignificant as a small coin in her hand.

एक बूढ़ी औरत एक पर्यटक की आस्तीन पकड़ती है और उसके साथ टैग करती है। वह 'पचास पैसे का सिक्का' चाहती है। इसके लिए वह उसे 'घोड़े की नाल का मंदिर' दिखाने की पेशकश करती है। यह जेजुरी के पीठासीन देवता खंडोबा के बारे में एक चट्टान में घोड़े की नाल के आकार के अवसाद के आसपास केंद्रित एक किंवदंती को संदर्भित करता है, जो उस चट्टान से अपने घोड़े पर चढ़ गया था क्योंकि वह अपनी पत्नी को अपने साथ ले गया था। यह एक किंवदंती है कि सच्चा आस्तिक श्रद्धा करता है और संशयवादी संदेह करता है।

 

पर्यटक दूर चला जाता है क्योंकि उसने पहले ही मंदिर को देख लिया है। बूढ़ी औरत 'अपनी पकड़ मजबूत करती है' और 'शराबी' साथ-साथ - इतनी आसानी से हार नहीं मानती। वह अटल है। वह उससे 'गड़गड़ाहट' की तरह चिपकी रहती है - एक कांटेदार बीज की फली जो कपड़ों से चिपक जाती है।

 

इस दृढ़ता से चिढ़कर, पर्यटक 'अंतिमता की हवा' के साथ 'उसका सामना' करने का फैसला करता है - वह फैसला करता है कि वह उसके सामने नहीं झुकेगा और इस तरह 'प्रहसन' को समाप्त करना चाहता है। वह मानता है कि उसकी बकवास प्रतिक्रिया उसे रोक देगी। लेकिन बूढ़ी औरत का तथ्य सवाल - 'बूढ़ी औरत' इन 'मनहूस पहाड़ियों' पर जीवित रहने के लिए और क्या कर सकती है - कथाकार को वज्र की तरह मारता है।

कथाकार को जो कठोर वास्तविकता मिलती है, वह उसे उसे करीब से देखने की अनुमति देती है। जब वह मुड़कर उसका चेहरा देखता है, तो वह चौंक जाता है। दो गहरी धँसी हुई आँखें हैं जो गोली के छेद की तरह दिखती हैं। उसकी त्वचा झुर्रीदार है और उसकी आंखों के चारों ओर दरारें दिखाई देती हैं और उसकी त्वचा से परे फैल जाती हैं। उसे लगता है कि सब कुछ बिखर रहा है। सब कुछ टूट कर बिखरा पड़ा है।

दरारें उसकी त्वचा से परे पहाड़ियों और आकाश तक फैल गईं। प्रलय होती है। पहाड़ टूटते हैं, मंदिर फटते हैं और आसमान शीशे की चादर की तरह टूट कर बिखर जाता है। लेकिन बूढ़ी औरत चौतरफा गिरावट के प्रतीक के रूप में वहां खड़ी है। कथाकार को शर्मिंदगी महसूस होती है। वह हृदयभूमि में छोटे परिवर्तन के लिए कम हो गया है।

बोध के क्षण में, कथाकार/पर्यटक स्वयं को अपने आत्मसम्मान में कम पाता है। 'वास्तविक' दुनिया के प्रति उसका जागरण उसे 'छोटा' महसूस कराता है - उसके हाथ में छोटा सिक्का जितना महत्वहीन।
